John is joined by Dan Greenfield of 13th Dimension to celebrate the birthday of Adam West. In our tribute, we discuss Adam's style of acting when it came to pre and post-Batman series. We look some of his best moments on Batman and also discuss other roles outside the series. John enthuses on Lookwell, a pilot Adam starred that should have gone to series.
